Yeah! Like a meat cannon, or meat shield and meat sword! It's going to be really awesome I promise! But I know you hate wasting food so I'll just eat them when I'm done. [He doesn't really plan on using them in actual combat thankfully. Gawd give him SOME CREDIT geez. You know he can't use weapons.]
